It's worth noting that the Striker costs for grav vehicles:
Page 8:
a 1×1×20 cm (or 1×2×10, or 2×2×5 cm), massing generates 1
TT
at 0.1 MW.
THe cost per m³ of grav modules is KCr100 and 2 tonnes.
So 1 TT is 0.1 MW, KCr2000, and 20kg.
1 m³ of grav generators are MCr10, 50 TT, 2 tonnes, and 10 MW...
The minimum PP volume means we can't use a fusion PP effectively at TL 9.
Let's throw together a budget TL8 grav sedan...

1.138 G's loaded, about 156 kmh
Dry with a 90kg driver, 1.376G, or about 165kmh
So about 600 km range... About a luxury sedan price these days, and with similar performance, but flying.
